The pair are due in Boston federal court for an initial appearance later Wednesday.Details of the brazen extraction, including the use of two"large black boxes," are laid out with cinematic sweep in a complaint that was unsealed on Wednesday after the Taylors' arrest.

At 9:57 p.m., Taylor and Zayez emerged from the room with luggage, including the two large boxes, and headed towards the airport."There is no image of Ghosn leaving Room 4609. Instead, Ghosn was hiding in one of the two large black boxes being carried by Michael Taylor and Zayek," the complaint says.
